I pulled into Nazareth, I was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
``Hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand, ``No was all he said
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
I picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walking side by side
I said ``Hey Carmen, come on, let's go downtown
She said ``I gotta go but my friend can stick around
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Go down Moses, there's nothing you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day
``Well, Luke my friend, what about young Anna-Lee?
He said ``Do me a favour son, won't you stay and keep Anna-Lee company?
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said ``I will fix your rat if you'll take Jack my dog
I said ``Wait a minute Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man
He said ``That's okay boy, won't you feed him when you can?
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
